Critical rhyzomatic interculturality and border languages in Mato Grosso do Sul - Brazil

Abstract

The objective of this paper is to discuss the border languages of Mato Grosso do Sul. This work arose from several concerns about the manner in which languages are related to inherent aspects of education, which should be intercultural, strengthening the basic education of children and young people who reside in border regions. We know it is the languages that mobilize, bring together and break apart, and even integrate or not the school community, in a way that the school perceives itself as an important intercultural space. Therefore, this article has the objective, primarily, to discuss what interculturality has come to be, how we perceive intercultural processes, how we understand interculturality, specifically critical rhizomatic interculturality, and how the role of this concept sustains intercultural spaces in the teaching of languages on the frontier of Brazil, specifically, on the southern border of Mato Grosso do Sul/ Brazil.
